Tips For Driving In The Rain

Tips For Driving In The Rain
BRIGHTON, Mich.- You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers. Well, April has come to an end but the rain has not, which can making driving more dangerous. Did you know that thousands of accidents each year are due to rainy conditions? Sp, check out our Tips For Driving In The Rain to stay safe this spring!

Tips For Driving In The Rain:
-The most obvious tip is to slow down when it's raining since the film of water on the road can cause tires to lose traction and rain can reduce your perception. Especially after a long dry spell, take it slow since the oil and grease build up can cause extremely slick roadways. And since you're driving slower, allow yourself more time so that you aren't rushing to your destination.

-In wet conditions, brake earlier and with less force than you normally would to allow a great stopping distance between you and the car in front of you. This will also give other drivers more time to react, preventing accidents. If you drive through a puddle, tap your brakes lightly to dry off some of the water on your rotors.

-Since you don't know what could be lurking beneath, try not to drive through puddles. Most roads are crowned, so if you stay towards the middle of the road you will avoid deep standing puddles near the shoulder. If there is a large puddle up ahead, drive around or turn around. You don't know how deep the puddle is or if there is a large pothole under the water, and if water splashes into your engine compartment you could damage the internal electrical system.

-If it's raining or the roads are wet, don't use your cruise control since it can actually cause your vehicle to accelerate if you hydroplane. If you do start to hydroplane, keep calm and release the gas pedal slowly while keeping the wheel straight. Avoid braking or turning the wheel which can cause you to lose control.

-Turn on your headlights and stay aware of your surroundings. Even if it is only sprinkling, it will help you to see the road better and will help other drivers see you better. If it's raining so hard that you can't see, it is best to pull over and wait it out to stay safe.

A thunderstorm can pop up out of no where during the warmer months, so keep these tips for driving in the rain in mind and always exercise caution when the roads start to get wet. Make sure your vehicle is ready for rainy weather by making a trip to Brighton Ford's Service Center. Don't forget that we can help you save on routine maintenance with our Tire Rotation Coupons, Tire Discounts, and Brake Shop Discounts!

New Ford eWheelDrive Fiesta Prototype

New Ford eWheelDrive Fiesta Prototype
BRIGHTON, Mich.- It seems like every other day automakers are touting a new fuel efficient or electric car technology, but Ford Motor Company has gone above and beyond with their latest tech application. The new Ford eWheelDrive Fiesta prototype was designed in partnership with auto industry supplier Schaeffler and offers a new electric technology unheard of before! Ford Motor Company's new electric car technology propels the vehicle through electric motors located entirely within the wheels of the car. Therefore, the drive wheels don’t need to be connected to a common drivetrain, which creates endless possibilites for the vehicle.
One major advantage is all of the extra space, especially if a flat battery pack is installed along the floor of the car instead of under the hood like in the prototype. Passengers in the new eWheelDrive Fiesta will enjoy a roomier interior. In addition, the demo-vehicle is rear-wheel-drive, but the new technology makes it relatively simple to configure a front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle. However, the most impressive feature available with the new motors is the possibility for sideways parking! With a specially designed suspension, all four wheels have the ability to rotate almost 90 degrees since the drive wheels don’t have to be connected to a common drivetrain! Urban drivers would be able to slip into a parallel parking space perpendicularly!
As you probably guessed, the new Ford eWheelDrive Fiesta prototype is in the early development stages, but Ford Motor Company expects to build two more prototypes by 2015. To cope with your current parallel parking fears, check out the new self-parking option available on many Ford vehicles. Stop by your Grand Blanc Area Ford Dealer to try it out and check out our 2013 Ford Fiesta Brochure.

2014 Ford Fusion Gets Minor Updates

2014 Ford Fusion Gets Minor Updates
BRIGHTON, Mich.- The 2013 Ford Fusion made its debut about a year ago which means its just about time for a few updates for 2014. Ford Motor Company hasn't announced any major changes to come for the 2014 Fusion so we don't expect anything drastic. But in the car's second year on the market the 2014 Ford Fusion will receive minor updates to the third generation of the vehicle.

First, the 2014 Ford Fusion will receive a smaller turbocharged engine. The current 1.6-liter engine will be replaced by a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with start-stop functionality.  All automatic transmission EcoBoost Fusions will receive the 0.1-liter displacement while manual transmission models will continue to be equipped with the 1.6-liter engine.

But the 2014 Ford Fusion's most important update will be the addition of seatbelt airbags for the back seats. Rear seat belt air bags were first offered in the 2013 Ford Explorer to protect smaller passengers, and the Fusion will receive the added safety feature for 2014.

And those interested in the Titanium model of the 2014 Ford Fusion, will be able to enjoy the addition of both heated and cooled seats plus a heated steering wheel option. However, the additions of heated/cooled seats and a heated steering wheel will not be available until later in the model year.

The Ford Fusion was completely redesigned for 2013 and while this will be just the second year for the third generation of the vehicle the 2014 Ford Fusion will get minor updates before it hits the showroom. Check out the current model 2013 Ford Fusion Brochure and stay tuned for more updates on the 2014 model.

Ford Key Fob Window Trick

Ford Key Fob Window Trick
BRIGHTON, Mich.- The warmer months are approaching (at least we hope they are), and Ford's newest vehicles will help you enjoy those months to the fullest. If this summer is anything like last summer we know one thing, its going to be hot. But Ford's Key Fob Window Trick will help keep you cool when it heats up!

Hate getting into a hot vehicle in the summertime? You won't have to with Ford's Global Open key fob feature! This new feature allows you to roll the windows up or down, and even roll back the moon roof if you have one! All you have to do it press and hold the unlock button on your key fob for at least three seconds and then the windows will begin to roll down. To roll the windows up, just press and hold the lock button for at least two seconds. And if you're rolling the windows up or down and want to stop them half way, just press either the lock or unlock button on your key fob to make them stop.

Ford Motor Company's Global Open key fob feature will work up to 150 feet away, so you can cool off the car before you get in on a hot summer day. Now we just need that warm weather to stick around! The Global Open feature is already available on the 2013 Ford Fusion and will come standard on select 2014 models! Stop by your Holly Area Ford Dealer to see how it works in person! We can help you drive off in a new Ford Fusion for summer with our Ford Fusion Rebates and Ford Fusion X Plan Price!

Ford Motor Company Debuts Escort Compact Concept Vehicle

Ford Motor Company Debuts Escort Compact Concept Vehicle

BRIGHTON, Mich.- This weekend a classic was revived when Ford Motor Company debuted the Escort compact concept vehicle at the Shanghai Auto Show in China. Once the best selling car in the world, the Escort was also Ford's most popular vehicle name behind the F-series pickup. Ford wasn't convinced that the needs of the market were being met by the automaker's current offerings which is why they decided to bring back the popular nameplate with some modern updates.

The Ford Motor Company Escort Compact Concept Vehicle that debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show is based on the Ford Focus chassis, but stretched a little bit to incorporate a more spacious back seat. With the goal of being roomier and more affordable that the Focus, the Escort concept features a more upright roofline that gives the vehicle a stylish look without being arrogant. Importantly for the Chinese market, the jewel-like headlights on the new Ford Escort are inspired by the Chinese character for the number 8 which is considered lucky as a portent of wealth.

Ford Motor Company Debuts Escort Compact Concept Vehicle
While the Ford Escort will be the automaker's third compact sedan, it works well in China since the country's wealth levels vary widely and compact cars make up 60% of the new vehicle market. However, the Ford Escort Compact Concept Vehicle is just that, a concept. While it isn't clear if the car will ever be built, it is close to a production model since it doesn't include exotic features. But, if the vehicle is produced it is unlikely that it will come to the United States since it was designed specifically for the Chinese market.

So while you may not be able to drive home in a new Ford Escort, you can get your hands on the world's best selling car at Brighton Ford! We have a wide inventory of Ford Focus vehicles to meet all of your needs and we can keep your payments low with our Ford Focus Rebates, Ford Focus A Plan Price, or Ford Focus X Plan Price. Just stop by and we'll help you out!

Ford Mustang's 49th Anniversary

BRIGHTON, Mich.- Today, April 17th, was a great day in history. It was on today's date in 1974 that the original Ford Mustang pony car made its debut to the public! With very unusual styling for its day, Ford's Product Planning Manager knew the new vehicle was going to be a hit. But no one could have guessed just how popular the Ford Mustang would become.

Ford Mustang's 49th Anniversary

With an original price of just $2,368, dealers were immediately flooded with requests for the sleek new vehicle. Initially, Ford Motor Company only forecasted about 100,000 sales annually. But that estimate was quickly blown away, when 22,000 Mustang orders were placed on the first day alone! Encouraging the already impressive sales was the pony car's appearance on the race track as the pace car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500. In just 12 months, sales of the new Ford Mustang skyrocketed to 417,000, and broke one million vehicles sold in the second year!
“When the Mustang was unveiled, the reaction was so positive that there was no doubt it was going to be a success,” recalls Joe Oros, chief designer of Ford’s original pony car.
Ford Mustang's 49th Anniversary

Today we celebrate the launch of that very iconic muscle car, the one and only Ford Mustang. As Mustang fans across the world look forward to next year and the debut of the 50th anniversary 'Stang, today we take a look back. Over the years the pony car has undergone many changes minor and massive, but one thing holds true, it is still America's greatest muscle car.

Ford Motor Company & GM Join To Develop 10-Speed Transmissions

Ford Motor Company & GM Join To Develop 10-Speed Transmissions
BRIGHTON, Mich.- Yes, you read that title right! Although a bit unexpected, two of Detroit's biggest automakers have announced that they will be joining forces to collaborate on new transmissions! Ford Motor Company & GM have partnered to develop 10-speed transmissions. While today's transmissions generally offer only 6 speeds, sometimes 8, the Detroit automakers plan to develop a new generation of transmissions that offer 9 and 10 speeds.

The new 10-speed transmission will provide improved fuel efficiency since it will have more gears which allows the engine to not have to work as hard. Less work will be needed by the engine to keep the vehicle moving when it has more gears. Exact fuel economy increases have not yet been released, but it is estimated that the next generation transmissions could offer a 5-10% increase compared to the 6-speed models.

However, the more gears a transmission has, the more costly it is to develop which is why Ford Motor Company and General Motors have decided to join forces to develop the new 9- and 10-speed transmissions. Transmissions can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to develop, so by collaborating, they will save millions of dollars that can be spent on other areas of vehicle development. Not to mention, Ford & GM's partnership in the development of 10-speed transmissions will help to keep prices competitive for consumers. And while it may seem odd that the competing automakers have decided to work together, it's not the first time. Ford and GM have actually worked together on transmissions three other times in the past decade!

Initial work has begun to produce advanced 10-speed transmissions for both front- and rear-wheel-drive vehicles, though exactly when the new transmissions will show up in Ford cars and trucks has not yet been announced. Until then, check out the impressive fuel economy currently offered by Ford Motor Company at Brighton Ford. We've got a wide inventory of 2013 Ford Fiesta and 2013 Ford Fusion models available, and we can help you save some green too with our Ford Fiesta Rebates and Ford Fusion Rebates at your Holly Area Ford Dealership!

Ford Focus - Best Selling Car In The World


Ford Focus - Best Selling Car In The World

BRIGHTON, Mich.- The Ford Focus was the Best Selling Car in the world for 2012, beating out the Toyota Corolla based on data just issued by R.L. Polk data. The Ford Focus ranked as the best selling car in China and sales topped 1 million vehicles worldwide.

Ford has taken the Focus up a notch with the 2013 Ford Focus ST. The 2013 version is equipped with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that provides 252 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. The Ford Focus sports some of the best fuel economy in the world, with class-leading 32 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in the city. There is even a 2013 Ford Focus with a special fuel economy package capable of achieving gas mileage all the way to 40 mpg on the highway.

The Ford Focus has also been updated for 2013 with more aggressive styling and a less boxy exterior. Critics think this makes for a more put-together look that is considered by many to be far sexier then previous models. The 2013 Ford Focus ST also has some serious technological integration features such as the Ford SYNC and MyFord Touch infotainment systems.

Some Easy Spring Gardening Tips
BRIGHTON, Mich.- Spring is back and we have come up with a couple of handy spring gardening tips to help you continue moving into the season! Now that the snow is hopefully done for, it is time to get ready to get your garden blooming again! Apply these tips as you enjoy the outdoors and beautify your yard or patio! Here are our 5 Easy Spring Gardening Tips:
1. Remove dead and damaged branches from trees to help them recover from winter damage. Then you can trim hedges, shrubs, and smaller plants to allow for spring growth!
2. Start a compost bin so that you can be as sustainable as possible while also providing your plants with even richer nutrients! Just chop up larger debris and have equal amounts of brown and green plant materials. In your compost bin you can include dead leaves,  grass clippings, coffee grounds, and some fruit. This is a great way to cut down on some perishable garbage!
3. Check the pH of your soil with a test kit and adjust as necessary. There are several different kits available for purchase at your local nursery. This is an aspect that is overlooked by a lot of people. Make sure your plants are getting the right recipe for growth!
4. Use water left over from boiling vegetables for your potted plants. Don’t forget to cool it down to room temperature first though. The nutrients that seep into the water will fertilize the plants! 
5. Use some coffee grounds mixed with water and feed them to your herbs. Coffee grounds are a great source of nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth.

Shelby American Rolls Out The Ford F-150 SVT Shelby Raptor


Shelby American Rolls Out The Ford F-150 SVT Shelby Raptor
BRIGHTON, Mich.- The Ford F-150 SVT Shelby Raptor recently debuted at North America’s largest automotive gathering, the New York Auto Show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. Shelby American rolled out the Ford F-150 SVT Shelby Raptor to critical acclaim and wowed the attendees with its innovative design and raw power.

The Shelby Raptor starts off with a 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, which then goes through one of Shelby's characteristic extreme makeovers. The already impressive six-speed automatic transmission boasting 434 pound-feet of torque, is upgraded into a 575 horsepower monster after Shelby American gets their hands on it. The 6.2-liter V-8 engine is supercharged, skyrocketing the horsepower from 411 to 575 hp using a 2.9-liter Shelby/Whipple supercharger. The exhaust and cooling systems are totally reworked to handle extreme conditions by installing a custom Borla exhaust and upgrading the cooling system with a specially designed package.

The Shelby Raptor comes outfitted with a custom leather interior, a unique Shelby serial number, and eye-catching graphics. The initial demand for the Shelby Raptor was so high that the original plan was to cap production at 100 vehicles per year. Shelby American rolled out the Ford F-150 SVT Shelby Raptor and then announced that they will be producing 400 additional Shelby Raptors a year because of the high number of incoming orders. The upgrades to the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor start at $17,995, not including the sticker price of the original vehicle.

While the supply of Shelby Raptors is extremely limited, Brighton Ford can put you behind the wheel of a 2013 Ford F-150! You can check out our 2013 Ford F-150 Brochure and we can help you save some money with our  Ford F-150 Rebates. Also, check out our Ford F-150 A-Plan Price and our Ford F-150 X-Plan Price

Ford EcoBoost Engines Reduce Emissions and Improve Fuel Efficiency


Ford EcoBoost Engines Reduce Emissions and Improve Fuel Efficiency
BRIGHTON, Mich.- According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 76% of Americans commute to work using their personal cars and trucks. Considering that these commuters are forced to brave an average commute of approximately 50 minutes roundtrip, selecting a vehicle is an important decision. Further, with the cost of gas stuck upwards of $3 a gallon, fuel-efficiency is becoming a more important consideration when picking out a new car. Ford EcoBoost Engines address the issue of rising gas costs while improving energy efficiency.

Ford’s EcoBoost gas-turbo direct-injection engine, winner of the 2012 “International Engine of the Year” for the 1.0 Liter version, provides up to 20 percent better fuel-economy, up to a 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions, and offers improved engine performance over competitors. The basic principle of the EcoBoost is that it does more with less—fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber and the exhaust excess that would otherwise be wasted is used to power a turbine. This results in a higher level of output, reduced emissions, and fewer trips to the pump.

The Ford EcoBoost Engine comes in three-cylinder, four-cylinder, and six-cylinder versions in a couple of different configurations. The three cylinder is a 1.0 liter version and the four comes in 1.6 and 2.0 liters. There is also a six-cylinder version that comes in a 3.5 liter configuration and is featured on the Ford-F150, which was named Motor Trend’s "Truck of the Year" for 2012. The EcoBoost is becoming popular with Ford F-150 customers as the turbocharged V6 creates 365 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm, 420 pound-feet of tourque @ 2500 rpm, and has a fuel-economy of 22 mpg on the highway. The EcoBoost Engine is an option on a variety of Ford vehicles. Learn more in the 2013 Ford Escape Brochure, 2013 Ford Fusion brochure, and the 2013 Ford Taurus Brochure.

2013 Shelby 1000 Mustang Hits the Streets

2013 Shelby 1000 Mustang Hits the Streets

BRIGHTON, Mich.- The 1100 horsepower 2013 Shelby 1000 Ford Mustang debuted at the New York Auto Show last week and muscle car-lovers will be excited to see some of the interesting modifications Shelby American has made to the most powerful Mustang in history! The 2013 Shelby 1000 starts off as a stock GT500 Ford Mustang, which is already the most powerful stock Mustang ever made, and begins with supercharging the 5.8- liter V-8 engine to almost double the horsepower. Then the exhaust, cooling, and suspension systems are all revamped to give the car the capability of handling between 950 and 1100 hp. The Shelby 1000 comes in two different models, a street legal version, which achieves 950hp using standard fuel, and a track car, that pushes out 1100hp using racing fuel. The Shelby 1000 appears very similar to the 662hp GT500 or the Shelby 850hp Super Snake to the eye, but under the hood it is the most powerful Mustang ever!


Shelby American is known for their amazing work with Ford Motor Company in creating extremely distinctive and rare Mustangs. They have achieved legendary recognition for building performance vehicles and the 2013 Shelby 1000 Ford Mustang is the most powerful aftermarket vehicle every produced by Shelby American.

The Shelby 1000 is being offered on a limited basis by Shelby American and must be reserved in advance.  Feel free to check out our 2013 Ford Mustang Brochure, and make it even more affordable with our Ford Mustang Rebates!
